Temple gets another shot at UMass

Softball

The 2007 Atlantic 10 Softball Tournament started off with a bang today. In Game 1 of the tournament fourth seed Temple sent fifth seed Charlotte to the loser's bracket with an 8-0 victory in five innings.

The game stayed relatively close until the bottom of the fifth. Katie Burdeaux drove in 2007 A-10 Player of the Year Adrienne Repsher to put the Owls up 4-0.

Shannon James (no the former UMass Football safety) then came up with the bases loaded and smashed an 0-1 pitch over the scoreboard in left field. The grand slam made the score 8-0, which ended the game by run rule.

Temple will face UMass tomorrow at noon in Round 2 of the tournament. Charlotte will play the loser of Game 2 between Saint Louis and George Washington at 4 p.m. today.
